i don't think anyone should run explicitly on banning online gambling but i do think that a democratic-led government should just quietly take steps to undermine the industry and create an inhospitable regulatory environment

Lula won in part by banning online gambling

@marcelias.bsky.social : “Mr. Blanche... we have beaten you and your team in court like a drum. So I hope you don't do what you are threatening or insinuating you might do. But if you do, I will see you in those courtrooms. I will win. And then I will dance on your head for those victories.”

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

I just saw Project Hail Mary recently. It's really, really good. Intelligent and fun science fiction, a great popcorn movie.

Barack Obama just endorsed Angie Nixon for U.S. Senate! She may not have the full backing of the Democratic establishment, but she’s building support from the biggest names in the party. LFG! 🔥

I sincerely hope that whoever’s the next democrat president, goes after this corrupt little shit, locks him up and throws away the god damn key.

Trump: "They cheated us on the second one, because I won it three times, so I think I have the right to run again"

This is not how American democracy should function. It’s getting worse every election, not better. I know constitutional amendments are difficult, but it seems like there should be a bipartisan supermajority of citizens who say enough with this stuff.

😳 WOMAN REPORTER: Do sexual abuse allegations mean nothing to you, sir? TRUMP: Wait. Wait! Wait wait wait. Slow down. Who are you with? REPORTER: NBC, sir. But they are very serious sex abuse allegations TRUMP: Quiet! Isn't she a fresh person? You're a horrible little reporter, aren't you?

This is the record of the depraved demented wife of a pedophile Vivek Ramaswamy used in his vile attack ad targeting Dr. Amy Acton That ad came on the heels of another Ramaswamy ad that used a registered sex offender!

VIVEK RAMASWAMY IS A SLEAZE BALL And Ohioans of all stripes think so! Even Ohio Republicans are condemning Vivek’s ads: One featuring a registered sex offender and another the depraved demented wife of a pedophile. When this election is over, Ohioans need to run Ramaswamys out of Ohio!

You can't afford a full tank of gas but Mike Rogers is chartering private planes and repairing his campaign's BMW. Summer's over so yachting turns to jetting I guess! Mike Rogers is just looking to go through the revolving door of politics to make another $14M.

Popok: But the question is whether Donald Trump fomented an insurrection, whether he fomented violence and called for violence that was heated by his followers. Who's better to answer that question? Who better knows the evidence against Donald Trump than Jack Smith?

In any other admin, this would probably be the most outrageous official statement ever made by a sitting FCC director: Strongly implying that the government forbids broadcast networks from reporting on the president's falling poll numbers. (Sorry to paste from twitter but that's where he posts.)

Vivek Ramaswamy, Ken Paxton, Mike Collins, Roger Marshall, on and on - everywhere you look the most despicable humans financed by a handful of billionaires and elevated by Trump want you to give them even more political power to serve their interests at your expense.

A trillionaire private citizen cut the U.S. military satellite over Ukraine. No one voted for him to hold that switch. Now the same money is pouring into Texas. Don’t surrender Texas to him. A TRILLIONAIRE DID THIS CUT THE SATELLITE. DON’T SURRENDER TEXAS TO HIM #USDemocracy iwillvote.org #USA

Vivek is a sick, arrogant man, and I hope his horrible actions here will take not only a campaign-ending toll on him but also on the entire Republican ticket and leadership in Ohio, which has shown itself incapable of responsible governing — let alone moral governance.
